Calls for international criminalization of blasphemy and enactment of global anti-blasphemy laws that would globalize respect for religion under international law began in 1988, when Salman Rushdie, a British-Indian novelist, published the Satanic Verses, an unorthodox narrative of the life of Prophet Mohammad and of Islamic dogma.
A key case was the 1989 fatwa against English author Salman Rushdie for his 1988 book entitled The Satanic Verses, the title of which refers to an account that Muhammad, in the course of revealing the Quran, received a revelation from Satan and incorporated it therein until made by Allah to retract it.
The book of Tobit recounts how Tobias is able to expel the demon Asmodeus from his bridal chamber by means of a ritual involving the burning of fish organs and words of prayer (Tob 8:1–9). In addition to such narratives, we have apotropaic hymns of praise, and even a few adjuration texts and incantations, where a demon is addressed directly in the second person and rebuked.

Rushdie's last novel, Victory City (Penguin Random House, 2023) was a testament to the power of words. In Victory City, an empire rose and fell, eventually nothing of that world remained extant but the words, the poem that the protagonist conjured, remained. Here too, the gashing, slicing and slashing are but ephemeral.
Nearly two years after the attack, the “The Satanic Verses” author returns to the stage, embodying the spirit and dangers of freedom of expression, strengthened by his life-changing experience.
